`XMLHttpRequest` and `fetch` browser APIs enable binary data transfer between
web browser clients and web servers. Since this library works in web browsers,
server conversion work can be offloaded to the client! This demo shows a few
common scenarios involving browser APIs and popular wrapper libraries.

Third-party cloud platforms such as AWS may corrupt raw binary downloads by
encoding requests and responses in UTF-8 strings.

## Downloading Binary Data
Most interesting spreadsheet files are binary data that contain byte sequences
that represent invalid UTF-8 characters.
netsuite-amd
2024-01-17 20:22:38 +00:00
APIs generally provide options to control how downloaded data is interpreted.
The `arraybuffer` response type usually forces the data to be presented as an
`ArrayBuffer` object which can be parsed with the SheetJS `read` method[^1].

math
2024-01-03 06:47:00 +00:00
that can be viewed as an `Uint8Array` and fed to the SheetJS `read` method. For
legacy browsers, the option `type: "array"` should be specified:

```js
/* set up an async GET request */
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.responseType = "arraybuffer";
req.onload = function(e) {
/* parse the data when it is received */
var data = new Uint8Array(req.response);
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {type:"array"});
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
};
req.send();

[jQuery](https://jquery.com/) is a JavaScript library that includes helpers for
performing "Ajax" network requests. `jQuery.ajax` (`$.ajax`) does not support

SheetJS users have reported success with `jquery.binarytransport.js`[^4] in IE10.
jQuery.ajax
2023-03-20 18:30:42 +00:00
After including the main `jquery.js` and `jquery.binarytransport.js` scripts,
`$.ajax` will support `dataType: "binary"` and `processData: false`.
**[Live Download Demo](pathname:///jquery/index.html)**
In a GET request, the default behavior is to return a `Blob` object. Passing
`responseType: "arraybuffer"` returns a proper `ArrayBuffer` object in IE10:
```js
$.ajax({
type: "GET", url: "https://sheetjs.com/pres.numbers",
/* suppress jQuery post-processing */
// highlight-next-line
processData: false,
/* use the binary transport */
// highlight-next-line
dataType: "binary",
/* pass an ArrayBuffer in the callback */
// highlight-next-line
responseType: "arraybuffer",
success: function (ab) {
/* at this point, ab is an ArrayBuffer */
// highlight-next-line
var wb = XLSX.read(ab);
/* do something with workbook here */
var ws = wb.Sheets[wb.SheetNames[0]];
var html = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_html(ws);
$("#out").html(html);
}
});
```

### Wrapper Libraries
Before `fetch` shipped with browsers, there were various wrapper libraries to
math
2024-01-03 06:47:00 +00:00
simplify `XMLHttpRequest`. Due to limitations with `fetch`, these libraries are
still relevant.

2) Save the following to `SheetJSFetch.js`:
```js title="SheetJSFetch.js"
var XLSX = require("xlsx");
async function parse_from_url(url) {
const res = await fetch(url);
if(!res.ok) throw new Error("fetch failed");

### Wrapper Libraries
The latest releases of NodeJS support `fetch` natively. Before `fetch` support
was added to the platform, third party modules wrapped the native APIs.
